that have been buying for years" he ad-
mitted by implication that he had for years
been buying some crowd. Moreover, the re-
mark was an insult to honest labor. It was
made concerning representative workingmen,
and whom he knew to be such. The sheer
and the insult represent the difference be-
tween the class who live by their wits or
who have no visible means of support and
those who earn their bread in the sweat of
their brow. Coy belongs to the former class;
the Knights of Labor to the latter. It was
because they were working men, and because
of the natural contempt that such man feels
for honest labor that he blurted out the in
sulting falsehood: 1.-THE same old croAsd that
I have been buying for years."

THAT is thrilling bugle-note which come s
from Montgomery, Ala, blown by the Opelika
Democrat and sounding the names of Cleve-
land and Watts as the Democratic ticket for
1888. AS an intimate friend Of Jefferson
Davis, his sometime Attorney general, and
s'War Governor of Alabama, he ought to be
able to hold up his end of Democratic
ticket and insure solid South. 1t would be
good campaign joke when Democrats asked
the name their vice. presidential candidate, for
Republicans to answer: "Watts his name"

THEN AND NOW.

Abraham Lincoln was the first Republican
President, elected after the Democrats had
been in power so long they thought they
owned the government. He received the
electoral votes of seventeen out of thirty
three States and popular majority over the
next highest candidate of nearly SOC, 900 votes.
The legality of his election could not be dis
puted, yet rather than acknowledge him as
President eleven Democratic States seeded
from the Union and inaugurated war. Mr..
Lincoln, from the hour of his election, was
subjected to threats and conspiracies, was
obliged to go to Washington in disguise, was
blackguarded and bounded by Democrats
as long as he lived, driven to despair by
Democratic rebellion, and finally murdered
by Democratic assassin.
Grover Cleveland is the first Democratic
President in twenty-five years. He received
the electoral votes of twenty out of thirty
eight States, and popular majority of only
$4,000 in a total vote of nearly 10, 900, 600.
His election was not as honest nor his title as
valid as those of Abraham Lincoln, yet the
Republicans never thought of disputing or
questioning them. They acquiesced in the
result of the election promptly, gracefully
and unreservedly. The retiring Republican
President participated in the Inauguration Of
the Democratic President-elect, and Repub-
lican heads of departments and heads of bu-
reaus gave every possible facility to their
Democratic SUCCESSORS. The President was
treated with remarkable fairness and degree
of consideration amounting almost to kindness
by the Republican press and party leaders.
And now, when he is making what one of his
party calls "a tour of conquest" Republicans
are conspicuous in their demonstrations of
respect for the constitutional head of the
Nation. Grover Cleveland was not obliged
to go to Washington in disguise like Abraham
Lincoln, nor will he be bounded to his grave
that illustrious man was.
The contrast between these two pictures
represents wide difference in political ideas,
methods and standards of action.
